The Lords found that the citing within six months an intromitter with a defunct's effects, who afterwards confirmed as nearest of kin, though not within the six months but about a month or two after, did not give that creditor a preference to other creditors who did no diligence within six months; and refused a bill without answers, and adhered to Drummore's interlocutor preferring them pari passu;—though a petition against an interlocutor of mine in another cause to the same effect, on a citation against an executor qua nearest of kin confirmed in six months, but when no creditor had obtained any preference (was ordered to be answered.)
